solid backing...
#1
I am doing a quilt for someone, they will be paying for it. The backing I have is of the Florida State Seminols with the helmets. The fabric is directional. I can do it, but the seam will be right in the middle and when I load it on the frame, it will be bulkier then the rest of the quilt as it is on the rod. Anyone have experience with this?
Also, If I dont use the FSU fabric, I thought about a solid backing. I have never used solid material for my backings before. And this is for someone that is paying. I am not sure how it will look :?: THis will be going to a 5 year old boy for his bed. I want the quilt to grow with him, kwim? As he gets older, I dont want him embarassed with toy truck on the back lol or the transformers....Any suggestions would be great :thumbup:

I am the opposite.... I have only used prints on one of my quilts. The rest have had solid color backings. There is nothing wrong with either. Just a case of preference. I am considering both a WVU quilt and a Steelers quilt for family members, both of which will probably have solid color backings.
Good luck
would love to see pictures
